Some peoples superhero
settings would get fucked up by having a bunch of Pseudo-Medieval weirdoes
wandering through it. I doubt it would make much difference to mine though.
There are broken dimension gates everywhere so its not like you even need an
excuse.

So here are my
FASERIP-FLAILSNAILS conversion rules. Got most of it from here.

Otherpool is now a
Flailsnails game.

If I ever work out how
Traveller works it can be Starslugs as well. Pretty much anything can exist
there for a while so you could all hang out if you wanted.

These are some
numbers attached to the values below, you will need these to calculate your
Health and Karma.

Ok, so we have not been mapping well enough in the Hex Kings palace. This means we cannot make sound choices.

last time this happened we ended up wandering round a wizards arcology for a month whilst missing a basic door because no-one had made a useful map. I am not going through that again.

So, this map is terrible. But it is a start.

My assumption is that other people who were there will each be able to remember some stuff. They can each copy the map, alter it, add to it. Or, more likely, make it part of a larger map with more stuff.

Every time the map is usefully updated or someone contacts me with useful information I will update and alter the image here. That way, anyone in the Flailsnails verse will be able to help/take advantage.

I made this in Paint becasue it is the simplest and everyone has it. It is not to scale and I expect it to be altered/shrunk whatever.

Veins of the Earth Hardcopy

‘They've knocked it out of the park. Hit it for six. Got it in an arm bar in the first round. Pick your sport, pick your metaphor, doesn’t matter: the point is clear – so soon after _Fire on the Velvet Horizon_, Patrick Stuart and Scrap Princess prove once again that something as unlikely as an RPG supplement can be art, of the most impressive kind. An amazing work.’ - China Mieville

FIRE ON THE VELVET HORIZON

"Superpositioning with strange panache, Velvet Horizon is an (outstanding) indie role-playing-game supplement, and an (outstanding) example of experimental quasi-/meta-/sur-/kata-fiction. Also a work of art. Easily one of my standout books of 2015." - China Mieville" Maybe my favourite thing we've made. If you like Scraps work click the pic.
